lau_mathew SG No. Mine is not a Gitti. Thought of putting something like a spoiler at the back. Anny recommendations?
siaokao SG I suggest: 1. find an orginal roof top spoiler. 2. Find a Gtti engine and gearbox.. keke.. 3. Find and mount the Gtti front bumper. 4. Send your car to a good paintshop.. (flat black is a nice color) 5. Change ur seats to Gtti seats. 6. Get your car a nice set of wheels. The car look best in its "orginal" form.. please dun go zhng too much bodykit.. wait look like ah beng car. The car only have 3 cyn 6 V.. dun zhng till too fierce..
lau_mathew SG Woah. Didn't know that i could do so many things to this old car. I won't zhng until like ah beng one. BTW, my car is all black already. I was also thinking of getting a spoiler. Anyone knows how much it cost and where can i get it? Another issue is that my car is very noisy. think its the exhaust pipe. Is there any exhaust that is quieter and suitable for this car?
siaokao SG Turbo charging is for engine.. suspension is different. U can go Fong Kim at UBI ask them to check ur exhaust. But this 3 cyn engine is not very smooth to begin with.. and can be noisy when pushed.. thats why i was suggesting the Gtti engine 12V turbo with intercooler. or u can get the 6V but with turbo. Its not abt speed, but will run alot better. U check.. maybe u already have the turbo version.
lau_mathew SG oic, Got to check then. haha new driver dont really know all these. Thanks alot. btw, Those shops at ubi that you guys are saying, do i just drive in and ask for whatever that i want? would i kanna chop there or not?
tiggersgd SG then what do u know of ur car? first car? anyway, asking around no harm. price not right just go to another place/shop. for customised b.kits, go to KAze @ ubi. exhaust the other bro has mentioned it.
kelviz SG Finally someone who drives a CHARADE damn been asking around and no bother seems to reply me =( hey bro no worries i know where to get parts but in jb la hahaha btw how old are u? your first car? hehe i’m driving a red gtti i must say the engine is much smooth than e cx engines but it consumes more petrol!!! =PpP
tomsss SG i dunno about you guys but i read that some ppl here agree with me.... the car looks and fits better at the scrap yard. just kidding
lau_mathew SG I am 25. yes, this is my first car. I like this car alot leh. but abit old lah. Dun think mine is a Gitti. Dun feel like going jb leh. do u know of any SG workshops?
alex2405 SG what’s wrong with the charade? why scrapyard? on the road cannot? not everyone can afford a better car ok and the gtti if done up well can easily tia alot of other rides lor.
siaokao SG There are Turbo CXs around.. try get one of these engines.. its cheap and easy to install. For inspection.. the turbo kit can be easily removed. The turbo engine not as powerful as the Gtti ones.. but somehow feels alot more refine when compaired to the normal CX.
nullifi3d SG Whoever Daihatsu Charade burst into flames today’s home section of the newspaper i hope the owner wasn’t hurt. Sad sight man.
